1) Turn water off. Open end valve, switch "pump" valve, turn water on. Problem solved.
Oh, and might aswell go ahead and buy the aqueon pump to replace the python pump that will inevitably break! They are built much better and work way, way better! Best 6 bucks I ever spent(after having spent 7 bucks 3 times on python pumps).
These things happen to all of us. I have shotty water pressure and to drain my line i have to raise it above my head. i wasn't really thinking, turned water off, raised it above my head(after having filled tank) and then turned water on to drain the line. It was still in "on" position and pumped water all over my head, shirt(dress uniform shirt for work) and the floor. I then got paged out for a 3 car pile up and had to go looking like a fool leaving water on the floor--when I came back, the dogs were soaked and so was the couch, the chair, and most of the carpet in the living room.
Life goes on.
